Help me understand your argument here. We need to ban no-knock raids because the criminals in this case shouted “FBI!” when they kicked in the victim’s door?

No. We should ban no-knock raids because they are unconstitutional and because there have been numerous examples of “real” police raiding innocent homeowners, destroying their property, and even killing their dogs

No, we need to ban no-knock raids because the criminals CAN shout "FBI". Even if you don't care about citizen's rights or lives, think about the officers' lives a ban may save. The fact that a homeowner can't possibly know if a person shouting "FBI" is actually FBI or acting within the law if he is remains a danger to the officers on the raid. Besides, it's not like the police are really good at this sort of thing.
