Most likely a .30 caliber armor penetrating round. Passed through and through body armor, showering sparks and concrete dust on the other side.
Thats a hardened steel core penetrator.
I agree with this and was just going to comment with the same. If it was an AK-74 it's highly likely he was using comm-bloc surplus ammo with a steel core. That would most definitely leave sparks on concrete or asphalt.

He was just a mentally ill, lone-wolf panty sniffer with absolutely no link to black live smatter, new black panthers or nation of islam.

Asking Dallas P.D. if they were shooting rounds all around one of their own guys who was huddled by a building pillar would yield ZERO response. I'll take internet forum speculation, over ZERO, thank-you.

I wouldn't. I'd probably take neither, but since they were actually there I'd try for information from that source rather than from people who weren't there, have no experience in real investigation, and have no idea what they're talking about. If my efforts with the Dallas PD were not fruitful I'd probably stop there and go do something way more productive, like watching paint dry.
But why bother in first place? I already said case closed so you can move on now.

so it's more than likely they were shooting too, but did they have a target?
Not necessarily a target. Pin down fire.

You're not speculating. Your mind is made up as to that's what happened, and you want DPD to defend itself from your claim. Never mind that the visible impacts track along the wall with shooter's barrel as he corners the column. Nope, has to be DPD because you say so.

That is a relatively rare form of SKS, if anyone was going to mistake that for anything else at all it would be another form of AK. 95% of SKSs out there look like the following
Russian SKS
Yugoslavian 59/66
So I'm going to have to disagree with you. It's incredibly rare to find an SKS with a folding stock (aftermarket) and AK mag conversion (possibly custom, possibly aftermarket, possibly a Norinco) and hardly the first thing anyone with even a basic knowledge of long guns would think of.
