Often times, these celebrities are too passionate in fighting for the causes they believe in to the point they experience a run in with the law while protesting and get handcuffed on the spot.

AceShowbiz - Jake Paul wasn't the only celebrity who got arrested while fighting for justice for black people in the wake of George Floyd's death. "Riverdale" star Cole Sprouse revealed on Instagram that he was arrested for peacefully protesting on May 31 in Santa Monica, California. He took to social media on June 1 to confirm reports he was detained by police for "standing in solidarity" with activists.
"I was detained when standing in solidarity, as were many of the final vanguard within Santa Monica. We were given the option to leave, and were informed that if we did not retreat, we would be arrested. When many did turn to leave, we found another line of police officers blocking our route, at which point, they started zip tying us. It needs to be stated that as a straight white man, and a public figure, the institutional consequences of my detainment are nothing in comparison to others within the movement," he went on detailing.
