Hundreds of motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle and dirt bike riders revved up and blasted through South Florida’s streets as part of a dangerous “MLK Rideout” tradition.

The high-velocity parade tore through Florida, causing a serious injury in Fort Lauderdale.

“MLK Rideout not good… 1 serious injury so far,” the Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue tweeted.

A rookie cop is slated to go on trial this week for gunning down an unarmed man in a Brooklyn housing project — and he may take the stand in his own defense.

The lawyers for Peter Liang, 28, say he might testify about how he fired the shot that took the life of the unarmed Akai Gurley in a dimly lit stairwell in the Pink Houses on Nov. 20, 2014 — a potentially risky move that opens him up to cross-examination by prosecutors
