How do you cope up with people who have anger issues in their attitude?
Do you retaliate resulting in violence? Do you ignore the person? Or do you communicate with the person and try to fix their issues?
When someone is hotheaded try to give in if it is not to absurd so as to calm the person down for that moment. If you retaliate back most probably the scenario will become very bad, or like what you say try to walk away first till the person calm down before you fix the issues with him. 90-100% when someone is hot headed a solution will not surface.
