Far-right instigator and pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionist Jake Lang was arrested Saturday, according to the Minneapolis Police Department.
According to police, Lang held a protest around noon in front of Minneapolis City Hall when he and two others, in two cars, unexpectedly drove onto the sidewalk and toward a crowd of counter-protesters.
"MPD had been aware of this demonstration for several weeks and developed a robust incident action in preparation for it," said Bill Peterson, the Interim Chief for the Minneapolis Police Department during a Saturday afternoon press conference.
"That plan included putting on duty significant numbers of personnel, working with our public safety partners and placing barricades outside City Hall designed to provide safe separation," Peterson added.
Police say a confrontation between the two groups happened quickly and chemical irritants were used by both sides. Police also say there is no evidence an MPD officer on scene deployed any irritant.
Shortly after, police say Lang and the two others fled the scene after their cars were overrun by counter-protesters.
"The best, that did occur, [is to] let those vehicles leave the area, which essentially did de-escalate things," Peterson said. "It was not safe for us to make any sort of arrest on those individuals in that large crowd."
Peterson said during the press conference that three officers were injured, with one needing to be transferred to a local hospital. That officer has since been released and none suffered serious injuries.
Police say they tracked the cars afterwards, stopping one near Washington Avenue and Interstate 35W. The second car was stopped by Bloomington Police near Lindau Lane and IKEA Way.
All members of Lang's party were taken into custody on probable cause riot, according to police. And they say four additional people were taken into custody outside City Hall.

🚨 BREAKING CHAOS IN MINNEAPOLIS 🚨
Police just HUNTED DOWN Jake Lang’s vehicle and SLAMMED the cuffs on him and his entire group after they were forced to flee for their lives!
MPD confirms: “All occupants, including Jake Lang, ARRESTED on probable cause RIOT.”
But the real horror? A vicious mob of leftists armed with weapons SWARMED the car, SMASHING windows and trying to drag them out in broad daylight!
Downtown Minneapolis has descended into pure BEDLAM — screaming crowds, shattered glass, officers in full riot gear fighting to restore order while the city burns with rage.
This is what happens when law and order collapses. The streets are no longer safe.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Leftists are now SMASHING Jake Lang's truck in Minneapolis outside City Hall, resulting in people getting pepper sprayed

Minneapolis police have been forced to RUSH IN and prevent…— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) August 22, 2026
Funny, but I’ve never seen the term “far-left instigator”.
🤔
“””Funny, but I’ve never seen the term “far-left instigator”.”””
Those people are called “”peaceful protesters””.
Jake needs to claim “sanctuary” status from the Minnesomalia Rich Learing Center boys. The fuzz arresting him is a Muzzie Walz Sammy HATE CRIME against Caucasians.
A trial MIGHT just have 1 or 2 NOT guilty with a few mistrials.

The article is a POS. It describes a confrontation between two groups without mentioning who the groups were and why they were there.
They found d the mythical “far right instigstor” by golly! Now... let’s compare this one man to the myriad far left instigators destroying this nation and see which group dominates!
Is this a sighting of the extremely rare “white supremacist”?
Love your tagline.
In Minneapolis it just might be a misdemeanor to drive on the sidewalk. That’s probably a $150 fine.
“Far-right instigator and pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionist”
Didn’t read beyond this. No need to read straight up propaganda.
You see boys and girls? It’s your fault when criminals attack you in Minnesotastan.
