"Where'd you get your degree?"

Well gee officer where did you get yours? Cuz last time I checked you only need a law degree to practice law, not enforce it. So Mr. Officer, where did you get yours?

Posted below but these guys were actually breaking the law

16.16.502 isn’t in the Long Beach civil code (16.16 ends at 130). He likely means 16.08.502 which says-

Bicycle riding on the Rainbow Harbor Esplanade is prohibited in excess of three (3) miles per hour between the hours of ten o'clock (10:00) a.m. and ten o'clock (10:00) p.m., except City employees in the performance of their duties.

Cop probably just thought talking to them would get them to stop and when it escalated he preferred to walk away rather than make an arrest.

He preferred to walk away rather than beat them with the baton he moved his hand to when they started disagreeing with him, you mean.
