Military police are forcefully abducting people on the streets by now. Fighting the power of the state is not something that just happens.

Military (or part of) can (and historically does) initiate a coup. If civilians are also on board the gov is over in hours. Coups typically fail when people are not on the same page.

Turkey is a great example. Heck Putin also had Wagner knocking his door in Moscow.
