One of the protestors shot a cop, and Texas being Texas basically decided that all of them were involved in that shooting, including the guy who was hiding the zines after the arrests started.

No, he wasn't considered involved in the shooting! His wife told him to move something before their house (or apartment, I don't remember) got searched, so he did. Everybody actually at the protest could have been released with no charges filed and he'd still have interfered with an investigation.

The cop was going to murder a fleeing protestor, one person fired at the ground, the cop was grazed by a ricochet (potentially fired by the cops themselves) and the state went after unrelated people by arguing it was all part of some planned ambush
