How is this not assault with a deadly weapon? She's there working, clearly not a threat.

That cop should be prosecuted.

Don't worry. They will conduct an internal review, which will identify the officer at fault and punish him by having him go on paid vacation.

It is. But do you see any other cops moving to arrest the shooter? This is why people say ACAB. Sure, some of them probably really do want to make positive change, but they don't actually take the actions against other officers required to allow for that change. They instead fall in line, which makes them just another part of the problem. Law enforcement finds it more important to show a united front, even if that front is squarely against the people, and even the law itself.

he saw something on the other side of her and he only hit her because of poor aim - most likely results of investigation if that even happens

So that's reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and incompetence instead.

The shooter should still be prosecuted.

Cops merely protect the ones giving orders rather than the people, so it's not a big surprise. This is why anarchists believe that they should be abolished.

The reporter isn't the only one who has gotten shot for non-violent protesting / reporting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlxSsceOOX4&t=149s in the video, they emphasize that "officers taking aim with weapons, shooting rubber bullets indiscriminately at anyone in their path" (1:56)
