As for what transpired, we weren't there and don't know exactly what happened, so there's not much I can say about it. Plus, you don't know what the cop was thinking or what he knew. Just be happy you got out of a ticket and stop complaining aobut his actions. If it was that bad, call his superior and lodge a complaint.
And blah on you joebenz..

I paid the fine went to traffic school this was my first ticker in 6 years, how many traffic laws I broke in that span, who knows. The officer was just doing his job

1) That myth about him showing you his radar? It's just that, a Myth.
2) As str8 said, 90% of the time the reason you get pulled over is so we can further investigate you for whatever reason we have. Perhaps a call, a hunch, whatever. So we find the legal means to do so and then further investigate you. It's called, the Pullover Context rule here in California.
3) That officer definitely could have been a little more respectful right off the bat, but you also had a bad attitude, by your own statement, even before he came up to the window. "Wtf?!?". Don't think that sort of attitude doesn't bleed through and show, it does.
4) Officers are damned if they do, damned if they don't. It's cool though, they'll keep on truckin' and when your (your as in the public) car gets broken into, and you (again, as the public, not being personal towards you here) call the Police for a report, or the Police to get your belongings back, or that "badguy" that you see running out of the store, remember who you rely on to do the work that you wont/cant do.
