Jake Lang Returns to Minneapolis City Hall for a Racial-Slur-Themed March; Hennepin County Attorney Declines Felony Charges, Citing 'Communication and Logistical Coordination' Between MPD and Lang's Security Detail

On Aug. 22, Jake Lang arrived in front of Minneapolis City Hall in the bed of a pickup truck, followed by an SUV of private security guards he had hired (Unicorn Riot). Minneapolis police arrested him that Saturday afternoon after hundreds of residents came out to protest what Unicorn Riot called his second hate rally in front of city hall this year. The event had been marketed with a racial slur.

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office then declined felony charges. Its release cites “extensive evidence of communication and logistical coordination” between the Minneapolis Police Department and Lang’s security detail, leaving no felony provable beyond a reasonable doubt. County Attorney Mary Moriarty: “His actions on Saturday were despicable and disgusting.”

Scope. The coordination the county describes is between city police and Lang’s security detail. The release names no federal agency. Operation Metro Surge had ended months earlier.
