Does Bhagwad Geeta only talks about war and killing.

Geeta also treats non violence.In Bhagwad gita Chapter 10 verse (4-5) Sri krishna mentions that Non violence orginates from him.In chapter 16 verse (2).Shri krishna mentions that non violence is a divine quality.Both verse is presented for your pursual.When Shri krishna is Asking Arjuna to do his duty as in swadharma he is asking the one who is in Raj dharma to perform his duty of Raj dharma.He is not asking untrained people to Go and fight war with trained soldiers.He is not asking us to take law in our own hands.He says violence by the one in power to protect the rule of law is not prohibited,but conditions apply.
