It also ensures their position even if they make bad decisions. Lots of them.

In a system where courts, police, and military are all private market funded who protects the people that don't have the money to provide funding.

This is a common objection. The poor will have trouble acquiring any vital commodity or service (food, clothing, shelter, etc). Should the government give itself a monopoly on these as well? These are arguably more important than police protection.
The poor will be accomodated by chairity. There are, for example, legal aid foundations already operating in our current system. Police forces would have market incentives to maintain good public relations (unlike the police we have now) and therefore would provide services to the poor. They might not get the same level of service that the rich do, but it's pretty obvious that we already have that situation in the US now.
