[JaneyVee]

This is the part I can't seem to comprehend. Anyone?

1. He took off in a car. Drove the car in between the cop cars that were parked on the street...

his car ripped off the cop car doors.

2. Shoot dozens of rounds at the cops in the dark

Throw some IEDs

Have your brother run at the cops with a suicide vest

Run over your brother and drive straight at the cops.

Dump the car and run away in the dark

[Turborama]

14. Is that how the events unfolded?

His brother ran at the cops with a suicide vest on and he ran him over?

3. Mystified here as well

Perhaps that is why some "analysts" talk of him bleeding out someplace.

This is very strange in many ways.

4. The Boston police need more range time

[Blue Owl]

5. Sounds like an old episode of the A-Team

A hail of bullets, but magically nobody gets hit!

[Fumesucker]

7. I pity the fool that would watch that stupid show..

[postulater]

11. You the foo!

[ZRT2209]

13. Hardly magic in those kinds of conditions. (nt)

6. Small arms combat at night is hardly a science.

From what little I have heard, it sounds like he di di mau'd on foot after ditching a vehicle. He either "squirted" away before the police could effectively set a cordon, or he's dug-in and they are lifting the shelter order in hopes of drawing him out. It worked before.

9. Explosives

You do not just go sprinting off in the direction of a person who is tossing what you believe to be explosive devices around in their path. Particularly a person who has already let some of those devices off.

10. Fog of war

He escaped into the darkness.

[Posteritatis]

12. My guess is he was in a moving firefight in the dark. (nt)
