Hitler crossed that line when he used the brown shirts to suppress the vote and intimidate any voices that were counter to theirs. That was years before they dissolved parliament.
I would say this reaction to the failed coup is probably too extreme, and is being used (similar to crystal nacht after a terrorist attack) to dismantle criticts of the govt.
