1) I found them kind people.
2) I found them to be kind people.
'1' could mean I found kind people for them. Could it mean that I found them kind?
If it can, is there any difference between '1' and '2'?

3) I found them fools.
4) I found them to be fools.
'3' could mean I found fools for them. Could it mean I found them foolish?
If it can, is there any difference between the meanings of '3' and '4'?
Gratefully,
