The purpose of a no knock warrant is due to the propensity for resistance/violence and preserve the evidence.

And risk being shot like the cop did in this story?

Indiana recently passed a law allowing citizens protection from law enforcement in situations like this.

So since the guy deals in weed, coke or whatever, the police need to get into the home quickly. You don't want criminals arming themselves while Johnny law is outside knocking on the door like a moron or flushing/burning/hiding the evidence.

Not worth the risk of getting killed becuse they think you're an intruder or rival criminal.

The no knock warrant is justified in this case becuSe it's exactly what the suspect did. He armed himself an killed the officer.

Because a no knock warrant set it up.
