Corrected entry: There's no way on earth Riggs and Murtaugh would still be cops in this film after the end of Lethal Weapon 2 where they both threw down their badges and went on a bloodbath, killing men who were protected by the US government. If anything, they would both be serving hard jail time.

Correction: First, the South African government (and the US government along with them) would likely be doing everything they could to sweep the incident under the rug. No one wants the general public to know about the money laundering, drug smuggling, and murder of police officers. Second, Riggs and Murtaugh were charged with protecting the government witness (Leo) and they had to get him. Third, the injuries suffered by Riggs and Murtaugh easily show that they acted in self defense in the exercise of their duties to investigate criminals.
