We don’t really know what the guard was going to do; He might have just aimed the spear at the changeling with intent to use it as a threat.
It’s kinda hard to arrest someone hostile without SOME means of subduing them, whether a threat or more forceful sub-dual.
Realistically, the guard would be charged and dismissed for attempted to injure or kill and unarmed enemy instead of arresting him. I know there’s artistic licence and I recognize this is a predominantly silly humoured comic, but still, just pointing out, it’s one of the 101 rules about this sort of thing. Are the Canterlot Guards really THAT incompetent at their jobs?

And Celestia knows this (right side of the final panel).
So true that one can’t just attack someone reading a book… it’s so cruel. It’s like saving over a friend’s “Perfect Game Completion”-file in Persona 4.

…. I thought “liquid terror” was something else.
Shining Armor can produce liquid pride, but this Guardstallion #24051 can emit liquid terror.

SnickerBut you’re a demonic monster, remember? It’s how people qualify to be in positions of power!
Admins, politicians, major video game company executives…
It’s also very practical.
But I guess since this guy is caught up in a book, he’s no longer an enemy.
I’ve done that thousands of times to my brother. :3

You just… don’t… do it.
