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.

You have the luxury of hindsight.
The cops were called because a man who was not suppose to be there was now trying to take a vehicle with the children of his alleged victim of whom he had a restraining order for sexual assault and a warrant. That’s what the cops knew. They saw the man put the children in the vehicle and the mother yelling about how he was trying to take the vehicle and kids as he tried to get in the car with a knife. That’s what they knew. No way you just let the “distressed” alleged criminal casually take the children away (at best).
As for Booker, her multiple calls to 911, her statement that Blake would sexually assault her several times a year but remained in a relationship shows a dysfunctional and violent domestic situation. We see it all the time where a woman in these type of domestic abuse forgive, defend and support their partners. It’s a sad situation but hardly unique.
