MN - Journalist Don Lemon arrested for church protest, Minneapolis, 18 Jan 2026

[J. J. in Phila]

How Lemon entering the church aided the protesters?

It helped create the disruption.

It is interesting that there is a journalism code of ethics that states, "Balance the public’s need for information against potential harm or discomfort. Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance or undue intrusiveness." https://www.spj.org/pdf/spj-code-of-ethics.pdf

I do not know if Lemon is a member or not of the Society of Professional Journalists, that wrote the code.

Thank you for bringing this up.

The society of Profesional Journalists condemns his arrest.

Do I understand it correctly? A single man walking quietly into the church helped creating the disruption?
