When can do away with "no knock" warrants?

Taken from the story you linked:

"Officers eventually located Speed in Winona, Minnesota, about 100 miles southeast of Minneapolis. He was arrested with a loaded gun, and in what appeared to be the same black jacket worn by the person shown in the videos from the scene when Elder was shot, according to prosecutors. Speed attempted to flee, but was arrested, according to the document."




So how exactly would you have handled this if he was at the apartment?  These are exact reasons why no knock warrants exist.  

They arrested him without killing anyone.  He had a gun and didn't shoot anyone while attempting to flee.

But sure, breaking into an apartment and yelling was the "safer" choice. Because those never go wrong.
