We were talking about alleged pot plants here, right? Not a rape or child abduction or a suspected WMD. Is pot really such a scourge upon our society that law enforcement needs to use no knock warrants in the middle of the night, on uncorroborated and unchecked information?

I am guessing they did not do that because he was supposed to have several plants and they wanted to be sure to catch him red handed. Checking him out wold obviously take time and this would be time given to him to sell or remove his plants.
Ensuring evidence was not destroyed is not a good enough reason for not checking further into the allegation.
Time is all you've got. Ask the dead officer. He ran out of time.
