Yes he claimed that, but If there is no doubt on either side that there was knocking then it was not a no-knock raid.
I specifically said the WARRANT was no-knock, not the raid itself. I have questions about why the police, in possession of a warrant that allowed for no-knock entry, would knock, but not announce that they were police (if Walker's claim is true that he didn't hear any verbal announcement that it was police at the door). It seems like a risk to the safety of the officers involved in the raid, if they knocked without announcing, when they legally didn't have to knock or announce, according to the warrant.
Note: Yes, I understand that one resident of that complex said that they heard the cops announce, but this is disputed by several sources, including 11 others at the same complex who claimed they heard nothing.
