If it's an informed cop then there wouldn't be charges. In the U.S. at least you have to prove intent to cause physical harm or threaten physical harm.
Grabbing or covering the lens of somebody's camera could be considered assault if there appears to be a threat of further harm or bodily harm.
Deplorable though the behavior is I don't see an implied threat of further harm by her actions. I could be wrong.
Thanks! What do you think you'd be charged with if a cop witnessed you grab that reporter's cameraman's camera?
