My guess is that tranquilizers are not reliable enough. They could take long time before they have any effect or they could have no effect at all.
They totally are not. This is not video games. You shoot to kill and anything less could get people killed.
I understand then. I really don't know anything about tranquilizers and their effect so this clarifies
Interesting snippet from the tranquilizer gun wiki:
"Tranquillizer darts are not generally included in military or police less-than-lethal arsenals because no drug is yet known that would be quickly and reliably effective on humans without the risks of side effects or an overdose. This means that effective use requires an estimate of the weight of the target to be able to determine how many darts (if any) can be used. Shooting too few would result in no effect whatsoever, while too many can kill the target "
So seems too technical and slow to use when your opponent has a gun

No. Coulibaly and the Kouachi brothers knew themselves, but only the brothers did the Charlie Hebdo massacre. Separately, Coulibaly killed a police officer the same day.
Ok that's very helpful for my understanding. So Coulibaly exposed himself after the event, I read somewhere earlier that he took the hostages to cover for the brothers - is that accurate?
Considering they knew each other and may (not confirmed) have been in contact via phone or something else, it is possible that Coulibaly tried to divert the forces chasing the brothers by taking hostages. It's not confirmed though, and since they're all dead we'll never know.
If they were in active contact, presumably it was by telephone, and authorities will be able to confirm this relatively easily by accessing the phones which, again presumably, will still be on the dead scum's bodies or amongst their other possessions.

I was talking about the reason why did Coulibaly took hostages
3 dead, killed by Coulibaly (the terrorist) before the assault, probably when he entered 1 dead who according to BFMTV was maybe with Coulibaly +1 dead who is Coulibaly
the hostage by the 2 brothers was actually hidden in the building, and the 2 brothers didnt know he was there. The guy was talking with the gign

I was wondering if TL's French posters could give us their opinion on the magazine? I'm trying to get a sense for what it is the paper does, and I don't trust pretty much anyone who isn't "around" the magazine regularly.
Sometimes they had a couple of funny drawings but overall it was kinda shitty. Most of their good/funny journalists and cartoonists died or retired a long time ago. Cabu was the only truly talented guy left.
