I'd say the 'perp' was...SLIGHTLY...outgunned by the BPD. Kudos to them.
Boy, you gotta have the IQ of a slug to think that you can outrun the Police.
Sloth I say!

He managed to do it the night before...and a few years before. So there's that.

It was semi-auto. When he first grabs the AR, he flips the safety lever down and then doesn't touch it for the rest of the video(not even when adjusting the stock, moving, or climbing in and out of the car). I'm thankful for this guy's bravery and ability to act to stop the badguy, but it looks like there's a lot of learning that can come out of these recordings.
It looks like the guy wearing the camera was the main reason the car eventually came to a stop. It looks like he tagged the driver as he was going past, causing the driver to later lose control. Also, what was the badguy shooting? Almost looked like a p38 or something.
Last I heard, the suspect didn't fire a shot. Therefore the woman likely was hit by an officer's round. That being said, it was West Baltimore... that bullet could have come from anywhere.

Since we're a gun forum , what are the BPD rifles ? Brand, model , accessories ?
My brother was at the scene, but after it was over. He drives a wagon, he was up in Towson getting a prisoner to take back to booking when it all went down. Said he's never seen anything like that, shell cases everywhere.
The rifle program started some years back. The rifles are Colts, semi auto, but he doesn't know what model they are or the accessories that are on them.

I am going to assume they are semi-automatic Colts since Colt supplies the vast majority of rifles for the military and police nationwide.
AAPD some time ago allowed officers to purchase and qualify with their own AR. I don't know if they specified a manufacturer.

I wanna go fast
The suspect appears to be shooting on the helicopter thermal footage. If you watch the video in op, at around the 4 minute mark when the suspect crashes out, you see him lean out, aim his gun, and then you can see what appear to be shell casings go from his gun to the ground.

dont be a dumbass
Maybe, but at this point do I actually believe anything I see our hear on that video.

Just an observation. You can see in the body cam footage he flips it on semi and never puts it back on safe...ever...for any reason.

" This is My Safety " ( Blackhawk Down reference )
Also a fair number of S&W M&P-15 purchased by LE , likely because many dept already have close relationship with their S&W rep/ distributor .

Seeing where LEOs were positioned, it's hard to determine if that was the suspect firing out, or impacts from LEO rounds crashing through the windshield. It's also hard to tell if the hot splotches on the ground near the driver's side window were shell casings, or debris from the LEO rounds lighting up the car. I suppose it could also be the criminal's blood dripping all over, since he was probably well perforated by then.

Yup. You can see that in the pictures I posted earlier. He seems to be in need of some training.
Not full-auto. Bad audio and "audio-bounce" - ie echo/multiple semi-auto discharges. Yes, weird way to carry a rifle in a vehicle. I do not blame the cops for being aggressive with the perp who both tried to run-over one officer and tried to put a bullet through another the night before. I pray the injured civilian was not hit by LE. I listen to the BPD police scanner allot and these officers work very, very hard. Much harder than most cops in the US - responding to several shootings and discharges - constantly. I hope they get the support, compensation, training commensurate with what is expected of them.

Colt LE6920 with an Aimpoint and a Surefire weapon mounted light. Officers have the option to purchase a bipod if they so choose.
