If you support the war on drugs, you are personally responsible for the proliferation of no-knock warrants.

If you support the War on Drugs (WoD), then you are not a Constitutionalist. Period.
The WoD is the expansion of the federal government's power into every aspect of life; as Justice Thomas said in his dissent of Raich:

Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything–and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.

Just because it bears repeating:
Justice Thomas said in his dissent of Raich:

Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything–and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.

Thomas is the shining beacon of liberty on this court. He never seems to fail on freedom.
