that specifically prohibits no-knock warrants and the states approve it.

Until then, we're the enemy and they don't honestly care that they're misreading warrants and terrorizing innocent people while trashing their houses and killing their pets.

They're getting just as bad as police in (other) totalitarian countries. They need to be reined in. Because of our corrupt supreme court, a constitutional amendment is the only thing that can do it.
