For me, the moral of the story is that no-knock raids should be ended. Even though Goins and his goons did the killing, everybody who signed off on the raid are accomplices in a murder.

Not ended, but they certainly should be the exceptions rather than the rule. They are appropriate for a known violent suspects or for where evidence could be quickly and easily destroyed. But they should be an exception.

Plus get rid of civil forfeiture, and require a conviction before permanently taking property.

Agreed, other than a hostage situation, no-knock raids are never justified.
