So why is he calling for non violence at non violent protests?

To remind people to not be violent when they protest.

And because the government is trying to provoke them into violence. It's the hardest thing in the world to resist the urge to respond in kind.

I think because there are calls for violent resistance too and even if it is non violent now he is reminding people to keep their chill in the future when things can get more heated
