Well… I wouldn’t have thought it, and I’ve NEVER seen the word before, but “subdual” appears to be a word:

I watched both videos. While I normally would give the cops the benefit of the doubt - it seems pretty clear that this guy was not being aggressive at all, and if he was struggling, it wasn’t with what I would think would be enough energy to warrant all those people holding him down.

Has the Sheriff’s office made a statement, or is their video release supposed to serve as their statement on this?
