He's not telling them not to exercise their rights. He's telling them not to protest violently. He is encouraging them to protest. He's encouraging those protests to be non-violent.

An impossible dream. 100% of protestors can be nonviolent and external forces, usually cops, can turn it violent.
Kind of like telling women that they shouldn’t venture out at night? For their own safety.
Or to give another example, the recent arguments made that people shouldn’t publish cartoons that Muslims find offensive, for their own safety.
In all three cases telling people that they shouldn’t exercise their rights “for their own benefit” is seen as highly offensive.
