No knoxks are total crap unless its an active hostage situation imho.

GlockTheVote, agreed, there is rare need for no-knock raids.
Jeez, they could visit the guy in the afternoon and ask him to come outside for a chat.
If he is unwilling or hostile, plan an alternate path.
Americans who support the notion of police bashing down doors with steel rams, shooting people & pets, all to secure non-violent criminals...have a few screws loose.
