“King was verbally abusive when asked to move so LaBelle’s people could load her luggage onto a cart.”

Depends upon how politely the thug “asked” him to move. I don’t take orders from people who aren’t in my chain of command or otherwise allowed to boss me around.

I was taught to assess the threat and then respond appropriately. If I am unarmed and threatened by three heavyweights, I'm going to retreat if possible and then call the police. Sometimes, prudence is the better part of valor.
