In fact the electrocutions of the 2 immigrants was the cause.

Yes there's other factors that fuels this conflict, but the electrocutions was the spark that started it all.

After the electrocutions, a group of immigrant started a small riot claiming that the police was responsible for the death of the 2 young man. Shortly after that France's interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, called the people responsible for the riot, rabblers. And I think that's when it got out of hands.

Calling those people rabblers was certainly a dumb thing to in that situation, but I certainly agree with the term used.
