he tells me to move over, and pushes up between me and the streetcar,
he tells me that i have to let cars by when i'm riding

i told him i was trying to stay out of the gravel and glass
he told me i have to ride as close to teh curb as possible, no matter what is there

good to know the law is on my side when riding.
I believe the law states you must ride as close to the curb as is safely possible. A curb lane full of gravel and glass is not safe. I find it unbelievable that a cop doesn't know the law...oh wait...he does...he's just counting on you not knowing the law.
