Land was found to have attacked nine police vehicles, punching windows, kicking off wing mirrors and letting air out of their tyres.
During the trial, footage showed Land – wearing a face covering – climbing on top of one of the vehicles and kicking the windscreen.
“You were a full and enthusiastic participant in the violent disorder,” Mills told him, adding that he had “no regard” for the safety of police officers and that wearing a mask “contributed to an atmosphere of intimidation”.
Land was said to have seven previous convictions for nine offences, but the judge said he accepted that Land was “immature” in causing “mindless violence”.
He called out to his parents, saying he loved them, as he and Glover were led from the dock.
The pair are the ninth and tenth people to be sentenced for their role in the clashes that day, and the eighth and ninth to be jailed.
Phillip Curson, from Upminster, east London, received a 27-month sentence earlier in August after shoving a police officer during the disorder.
Three other protesters were jailed in October, while Lee Gower and Shaun Thompson, both from Epping, were sentenced earlier in June.
Aaron Elles, from Harlow, also received a prison sentence of one year and eight months in October.
Luke Fleming, of Thaxted Road in Buckhurst Hill, was given a suspended prison term of one-year and nine months in June.
