Well I'm guessing the media calls it it a coup because it brings more attention and they don't have to be as careful with semantics. Either way, its just typical foreign policy.

I agree with you. The statements from the military and brotherhood (protestors that got shot) completely contradict each other. Military says they were attacked. Brotherhood says the shootings were unprovoked.

There is a video circulating of a soldier sitting on top of a rooftop shooting into the crowd and none of the protestors are attacking them. Also, the photos show gunshot wounds to the back of the head, suggesting that they were shot either running away or when they were praying.
