Non Violence only protects the state and state approved protest means nothing. The most violent people are police at protests. Dr. King's character is always stripped down to the peaceful Black leader, and look how that went for him. He was still assassinated.

Perhaps, but I'd guess the risk of assassination rises with influence as opposed to their own views on violence
