Use the first vehicle you clear as cover to take out the other officers that arrive up the road ahead.
Proceed forward up the dirt road by using each cleared vehicle as cover until you can approach the getaway car to activate the next cut scene.
Once you have control of the vehicle, stay as far to the right side of the road as possible to let the police cruisers and other vehicles pass by you harmlessy as they travel in the other direction.

Open the largest of the garages to activate a cut scene, then equip your pistol and use the adjacent wall as cover to take out the enemies around the corner.
Proceed up the alley with Lamar to encounter the enemy on the scaffolding above to the left and shoot the fuel tank beside him to remove the threat.
Take cover behind the low brick wall across from Lamar on the right and pick off the enemy in the next two balconies above, then shoot the back tires and windows out of the blue car that pulls into the alley.
