Title: Follow-up to Police Officer Fired After Ticketing Dabo Swinney

Oh well.

A local police officer claimed Thursday that he was fired for giving a speeding ticket to a popular college football coach - fighting words in a state that takes its sports rivalries very seriously.

Officer Michael McClatchy issued a ticket to Clemson coach Dabo Swinney on Sept. 3 after he clocked him going 63 mph in a 35 mph zone in the city of Pickens, located in the same county and just 20 miles down the road from Clemson.

I'm disappointed in Dabo.  He should obey the speed limit, and if he doesn't he should accept the punishment without trying to use his position to get out of it.
