Just watched the press conference at which the police announced arrest of a suspect who they say has confessed to firing the shots that wounded the cops. He claims he was shooting not at the cops but at somebody in the crowd, with a 9mm or .40 caliber pistol. From, according to some reports, about 100-125 yards way. [tried to embed an image from Twitter here, but they seem to block that; click to the feed to see the bullet's hypothetical path on an overhead view] 
He's reportedly confessed, so it's fair at this point to say "what an asshole", firing into a crowd from 100 yards away because of some earlier argument.
Lots of speculation on this thread about it. How'd we do solving the mystery? Well, apparently it was an idiot's problem with anger management and impulse control that was behind it all, so no false flag conspiracy or racial animus (violent bloodthirsty black protesters out for cop blood, as the rightwing media so charmingly and predictably decided in the first microsecond; or, conversely, white vigilantes on the rooftop who were either very poor shots or false flaggots, as I vaguely wondered). I suddenly find myself with nothing left to analyze. The dickhead did it. I think the story is over. Little to see here after all, folks, move along.
I got the part about the caliber of the shells right, so I win.
