Lethal Weapon Plot Hole?!?

[j7wild]

When Murtaugh and Riggs went to meet Joshua and his band of mercenaries in the Dry Lake,

how did Riggs knows where to take a sniper over watch position?

and

how did Joshua's man knew where to find Riggs that quickly to stop him from shooting?

Magic....


I think they knew where they were meeting so Riggs, who was a Special Forces sniper, could easily find a spot to fire from. The general who found him was also SF and was probably doing a sweep in case Murtaugh didn't come alone.

that's a big sweep considering how huge the area is and the person who found Riggs wasn't using a Helicopter (I only saw one helicopter and it landed).

Riggs and the person who found him walked toward the rendezvous point which is further evidence they didn't use a Helicopter to do the sweep.

also at the end, another question:

Murtaugh and Riggs knew Joshua was headed to Murtaugh's home;

they even left a note in the house for Joshua that read "No One Home, Just Us Cops!!"

Which means they got there before Joshua;

so why did they let Joshua shoot and kill those 2 uniformed Police Officers?!?

That made no sense!!

In 26 years, I've watched Lethal Weapon many many times and I never knew these 2 (cut) scenes existed until I read about them today on IMDB:
