George Floyd, Hair Then No Hair.

[flobadob]

I've seen a meme doing the rounds a few times now that purports to show two images of George Floyd during his arrest. The first image shows him standing with a policeman behind him, in which he looks to have a shaven head of black hair. In the second image he is lying on the ground behind a vehicle with a policeman on top of him, and in this image it appears his head is completely bald. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy but but I'm just wondering what the explanation for this is? Is it perhaps the lighting difference or maybe blatant photoshop?

Im also unsure what exactly a meme is. Is a gif a meme?

So in a nutshell, yes?

I always find it difficult to find which section to submit a question. I picked news for this one because I assume the people who would answer might have some interest in news.

But going by the answers most people here should stick to the chatterbank section.

But I'll post the image later in case anyone wants to think instead of slabber back and forth to reach on irrelevant nonsense about memes.

Yes, please post it flobadob.

The link would be most helpful.

Here's a link. It's not where I initially saw it but you'll get the gist

Slabber? Meme?
Is this supposed to be English?

This video shows events leading up to his arrest

This video shows him under Chauvin's knee:



His hair is the same in both videos.

Yes, that's strange. The only explanation I can come up with is a trick of the light when he's standing. I don't think it's a conspiracy.
