Fact check: Does 50501 movement have a history of turning over protestors to the police?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the available analyses, there is no evidence that the 50501 movement has turned over protesters to the police. Multiple sources consistently report that the movement was characterized by:

• Peaceful demonstrations ^[1]
• A decentralized, self-organizing approach ^[1]
• Large-scale participation, including 8,000 in Michigan and 20,000 in California ^[1]
• Recognition from officials for being "well-behaved" as noted by a South Carolina governor ^[2]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question omits several important aspects of the 50501 movement:

• It was primarily a grassroots political organization opposing the Trump administration ^[2]
• The movement attracted many first-time protesters ^[1]
• The only documented police interaction was an isolated incident where four demonstrators were removed in handcuffs at an Iowa Capitol protest ^[2]
• The most serious reported incident was a vandalized government sign in Utah ^[1]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The question itself contains an implicit bias by suggesting a pattern of behavior that isn't supported by any evidence. This type of framing could:

• Benefit those seeking to delegitimize grassroots movements by portraying them as collaborating with law enforcement against their own members
• Discourage participation in protests by creating unfounded fears about movement leadership
• Distract from the movement's actual goals and achievements, such as organizing successful nationwide protests ^[2]

The sources consistently describe a legitimate political movement focused on peaceful protest, rather than one engaged in turning over protesters to authorities.
