Abstract
Riots broke out in Ferguson, Missouri (USA) after a white police officer shot and killed a black citizen of Ferguson. We explain how a breakdown of popular sovereignty in Ferguson contributed to the preexisting hostility in Ferguson. The rhetorical appeal of "Black Lives Matter" will hopefully lead to the restoration of a democratic municipal government in Ferguson and trust among its citizens
