Easy - the WOD has popularized 'no knock' raids to the point where people think if someone is knocking down their door yelling 'police', that they're actually police. Criminals have picked up on this and are using it to their advantage.
No knocks are used in situations where they are not required too much. There needs to be something more vital than 'we think they might flush drugs down the toilet' to justify a no-knock raid.
This pisses me off.
They need to round up a possey and , well lets just say this pisses me off.
These turds when they get caught. Need to be prosecuted hammered to the full extent of the law.
This is nothing less than terrorism. Define terrorism and this is it. Of course they haven't killed anyone yet. But what if someone resisted. They are instilling terror into their victims.
Now what happens when real cops are challenged with weapons because someon thinks they are bandits?
Alright...scored in one. LOL!

An ounce might be successfully flushed, but not a kilo. The No-Knock is now used more as a psychological ploy to overpower and temporally stun the suspects. The shock of all the noise (breaking door frames, windows, screaming etc.) and confusion will make most people freeze for a few seconds, increasing officer safety. Officer safety now overrides all other considerations.
