Doesn't strike me as much different from brandishing a firearm. Why isn't he being charged with assault with a deadly weapon?

Because witnesses at the scene reported that it was clear that he wasn't trying to hurt someone. Therefore no felony charges are warranted.

He pushed her with his car till she fell down. If he had pushed her with his hands till she fell down, that would be assault, too.

Brrrrrrttttt, wrong answer.  Moss got off with what he did, because he can afford a high priced lawyer and could get this thing tied up in the courts forever and cost the city lots of money.  Which is the same reason he didn't get charged with the weed.

If it had been me or you, we'd still be cooling our heels in the lockup. 

There is justice in this country, as long as you can afford it.
