If a few more hundred have this happen then it turns to thousands we will have a coup. A coup by definition has many people involved in this type of violence. It also will not be considered a coup until all of those being attacked or those against them being attacked fight back with the same violence. All of the protests which have been peaceful for the most part can not be considered a coup.
