If you find yourself in that situation again, you can threaten the officer with a citizen's arrest under California Penal Code Section 410:

410. If a magistrate or officer, having notice of an unlawful or riotous assembly, mentioned in this Chapter, neglects to proceed to the place of assembly, or as near thereto as he can with safety, and to exercise the authority with which he is invested for suppressing the same and arresting the offenders, he is guilty of a misdemeanor.

A tip of the hat to you for the text for those Penal Code items. A caution on links: when the site does a search, the link it generates is good only for that particular search. It was very helpful of you to include the text and the name of the section.
