Right...
Take a look at this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_violence_against_LGBTQ_people_in_the_United_States
Note how almost every one of these horrible things lead to a conviction of the perpetrator. So tell me, if the police and judiciary system in general does not protect you, who investigated these cases and how did the convictions happen?
What do you think would happen to violence like this if there was no police and hence no way to get caught? Do you think it would decrease or increase?
Are you including all the violence perpetrated against lgbt people by the police? Repeatedly? Like your Wikipedia article talks about?
Do you think it's a net negative?
