People always make the excuse of "they will flush drugs down the toilet", but what is more important to you: human lives or catching somebody with flushable amounts of drugs?

Be careful asking questions; you might not like the answers.

In more than a handful of cases, the answer becomes getting the collar and the evidence is more important.

There is no scenario where no-knock raids are a good idea, except for maybe a confirmed hostage situation or a mass shooting. And often times during mass shootings when the police absolutely should go in ASAP, they don't and just wait outside until everyone is dead. See Columbine or Pulse. Certainly don't do a no-knock raid on a suspected hostage situation where in actuality somebody is just SWATing somebody else, it must be confirmed. In most circumstances, the only thing that no-knock raids accomplish is getting people killed.

Why can't they just wait until they're gone, then bust into the house? why do it when he's there? If he's got something on his person, you can stop him when he's not at home, in a traffic stop.

See Columbine or Pulse.

To be fair, Columbine has changed the way active shooters in schools are handled now, and in the case of Pulse, they police held off entering because they thought there was an ongoing hostage situation. (as reported)

If you continue to hear gunshots happening inside, then it's not a hostage situation, get TF in there.

Easy to say. You don't rush blind into a gunfight without a plan.

There ya go throwing logic into the situation again.

I try.

Apparently waiting outside wasn't logical in that situation. If you continue to hear gunshots inside, it's not a hostage situation, it's a slaughter.

The Police Officers entered the building without waiting/hesitation/planning at all. The Fire Department waited. I have attached the timeline to help us all understand.
