Man accused in cop death granted bail

The man accused of killing a Toronto police officer was granted bail Wednesday, prompting the Ontario premier to call on the justice system “to get its act together.” Umar Zameer faces one count of firstdegree murder in the death of Const. Jeffrey Northrup. The officer died July 2 after being struck by a vehicle in what investigators have called a deliberate act. Premier Doug Ford weighed in on the bail decision on Twitter. “This is beyond comprehension,” Ford said.
