They weren't at that kind of angle . Most of the shots were from the rear and side-angle. Sounds like the car got shot in the hips and @zz. The car was stuck up between a telephone pole and a tree, in the backyard of a townhouse. At night. This was nowhere near optimal for anyone. Here is the Maimi CBS version.

.....the car was wedged helplessly between a light pole and a tree, nearly a minute passed before officers opened up – firing approximately 50 bullets at the car and the two unarmed men inside the vehicle.

The two men inside the car survived that initial volley of gunfire, according to witnesses, who said they could see the men moving inside the Volvo. Everything went quiet for nearly two minutes before the officers opened up a second time – unleashing an unrelenting torrent of bullets that lasted almost 25 seconds. By the time it was over, the two men inside the car were dead.

CBS4 News has learned a total of 23 officers fired a total of at least 377 rounds. http://miami.cbslocal.com/2014/05/06/police-shooting-frenzy-raises-concerns/
The two photos showed what looked more like a dead end street to me, parked cars on a unkempt verge, two light poles, stop sign.

Assuming the light poles shown are an adjacent pair, the cops pictured taking cover were abeam of the vehicle, lines up with the pockmarks in the pole. Where were the rest?
