Pardoned Capitol rioter who said Jan. 6 officer 'needs to be put down' is charged
(NBC News) Pardoned Jan. 6 rioter Jake Lang has been charged with making threatening statements about one of the officers he faced off with at the U.S. Capitol.
Lang was seen on camera at a Jan. 6 fifth-anniversary event this year, telling Metropolitan Police Cmdr. Jason Bagshaw that he should be “put down like a dead dog” and "hung" in front of the Capitol.
Lang was part of the brutal battle between Trump supporters and police at the Capitol's lower west tunnel on Jan. 6, 2021, which is also where Bagshaw faced down the mob that day.
Lang now faces a misdemeanor charge in D.C. Superior Court, with prosecutors alleging his statements against Bagshaw constituted threats.
