Fireforged has it covered. Avoid conflicts if possible. Let the Police handle it. Running around acting and trying to look like a tough guy, sticking your nose into non-life threatening situations while openly wearing a sidearm and "Instructor" shirt could easily be seen as provocation by an intoxicated, drugged or enraged mentally unstable person who feels justified in their anger. Then there are the Police and Prosecutor.. who's side will they take? This guy wasn't charged, but in many jurisdictions he undoubtedly would have been. Criminal charges and or Civil lawsuits are no fun. Keep your egos in check.
