Enid, I dont' think he is saying they didn't have a warrant.  I think he is questioning why the warrant was executed with such prejudice (legal sense, not racial).  The point being that likely they could have politely knocked on the door, presented their warrant for the fawn, and after a some conversation left with the creature.

Geeman, in most locales in the US, a no-knock warrant is differentiated from a knock and announce warrant.  Additional probably cause is necessary to document the need to "prevent physical harm to the officers or other persons, the destruction of relevant evidence, the escape of a suspect, or some other consequence improperly frustrating legitimate law enforcement efforts".  So, in reality while it is a one-step process, the process is different and has to probably cause sections for a no-knock warrant.
