Pilate was certainly not opposed to violently suppressing uprisings. He was relieved of his governorship for doing exactly that.

Yeah, but every time a violent uprising happens, it's a gamble as to whether you'll win - hence why even the most authoritarian rulers still try to avoid uprisings happening in the first place.
