Four and a half foot spear.
Sounds more like the Zulu Assegai
A close quarter stabbing weapon.

Never bring a spear to a gun fight.

More than likely — he had already thrown the spear.

Maybe; but given the crap I've seen from the cops in the past 2 or 3 years I'm hesitant to believe the claim that he attacked them simply because I don't think that they are on the side of Justice at all.
