Good tips were stay a foot away from the walls; bullets skim along them.
Bullets tend to either bounce off walls or embed themselves therein, not skim them. I'd like to see a source on that.
And when the cops find you; have your hands visible and don't make any sudden moves.

This is excellent advice.
You ever watch "Blackhawk Down?"
"Hey Grimsey, stay off the walls." Bullets hug walls, supposedly.
From the US Army FM 3-06.11:
"The soldier should try to stay 12 to 18 inches away from walls when moving; rubbing against walls may alert an enemy on the other side, or, if engaged by an enemy, ricochet rounds tend to travel parallel to a wall."
