Like Blake himself says "he wasn't thinking right". He caused all the issues, including knowingly violating a court order.
Also he was not executed. Despite maybe best efforts he is alive today.

You mean
his children? One of whom was celebrating their birthday, which was why Blake was there in the first place? Blake was there celebrating the kid's birthday for hours before the call.
The woman (Booker) was fighting with a neighbour, so Blake decided he would take the kids out of the situation. The reason police were called on him was because he was taking a rental car that wasn't his and wouldn't give up the keys, and Booker was worried he was distressed. Many years prior, he'd taken her car and crashed it, so it's easy to see why she was worried.
The woman screaming, who was she screaming at? Right, the police, who were attacking the father of her children. The police, who despite her yelling that her kids were in the car, fired shots towards the inside of the car. The police who fired those shots for "no reason," according to Booker.
Don't you think if your version was true, that an alleged rapist tried to take/attack the children of the woman he raped, that she might have seen some just cause in taking him down? Don't you think, if it were true, that witnesses would have known Blake was the one cops were there for, not screaming at them "you got the wrong guy" because nobody but Booker knew the cops were called on him and nobody would have guessed that he was the reason for their presence based on his actions?
Even saying "the woman he raped" is ridiculous at this point. That charge was dismissed. Booker did not pursue it. She let him spend hours with her and his kids on the kid's birthday after that alleged incident.
