So theoretically if the officers had just gone up to the door and knocked you believe the residents would’ve shot the officers immediately upon opening the door or something to that affect.

Absolutely, the police officers breaking down the door would be dead. And, some of sickos here would be celebrating, maybe with their local Antifa thug.

Maybe this will help me understand where you are coming from.

Can you describe a situation where a simple knock to serve would be acceptable?

At what point, in your mind, is the threshold for allowing no knock warrants?

Also, for reference:

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Remember, the probable cause came word of mouth from a CI, and the property to be sieved was black tar heroin and a semi auto 9mm, neither of which was found.
