Murtaugh, Lethal Weapon Illustration part 1

So, when I watch Lethal Weapon now, Murtaugh is so much more relatable than Riggs. When I was a kid I was all about Mel Gibson running around like a madman, but after having a job for a decade I have way more time for the guy who just wants to get through the day with the minimum of fuss so he can go home and have a sit down.

I'm not saying my college library job is exactly the same as working for the LAPD, but if I got partnered with a new maverick librarian like Mel Gibson I think I would do a lot of side eye and sighing too.
