Take-aways that come to mind so far; the cops could not tell where the bad guy was shooting from, how long it took the cops to get help, and how did they both get hit in the right knee? Maybe exposing that leg when shooting from behind the cruiser?

If I ever need to shoot from my house, I can move from window to garage, etc. to make it hard to zero me.

If it took that long for the cops to get help, how long would it take for a regular citizen to get help....?
One of the wounded officers said that the shooter was skipping the rounds off the pavement. At the rate the shooter was dumping the mag I suspect it was random and not aimed. One of the bank robbers from the big LA shootout years ago was taken out by the swat guys shooting his feet from under the car he was behind. I would like to know more details of the shooter’s equipment used.

At least it was said Citizens. I hate it when L.E. types say Civilians instead of Citizens. They are not in the Military, they are Cops, which makes them Civilians too, and hopefully Citizens as well, although Seattle is allowing "undocumented" workers now to fill their ranks, which are certainly not citizens!
Seattle does not use the term "citizen" an it is considered to be implicitly biased, instead the term is "community member."

I wish I was making this up.

I don't* condone this act of violence, the guy was a P.O.S. But if it has to happen, I'm glad it at least reminds the government that they should fear their citizens.
Legislative types and bureaucracy types are the ones that should be afraid. They aren't and they don't give two shits about a couple of cops getting tagged. Cops, like soldiers, are expendable to them.

Agreed. However, they will never have the spine to go out and do anything themselves. They rely on the actual men to do that. If police know death possibility lurks behind every door, they are much more likely to tell the tyrants to go F themselves if they are asked to enforce unconstitutional laws.

The police academy I went to taught bounce shooting off of walls and under cars. Interesting ballistics involved. A bullet will travel along the wall/ ground about 6 inches away from the surface when hit at a certain angle. We were taught how to take out the legs of the threat when they were hiding behind a car using a shotgun. Our Shotgun rounds were staggered buckshot, slug, buckshot, slug, buckshot, slug etc.
