Officer Brocato – Baltimore County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Alongside Officer Wise, Officer Brocato was involved in the September 2019 fatal shooting of Jamaal Taylor, a man experiencing a mental health crisis. The wrongful death lawsuit alleges that both officers did not attempt to de-escalate the situation or contact crisis intervention teams before resorting to deadly force. The lawsuit suggests a broader pattern of the department’s use of excessive force against individuals with mental health issues.
