WATCH: Dutch Police Are Training Motherfucking Eagles To Take Out Drones

Real talk: Birds are the absolute coolest. And bigger birds are especially badass.

Those glorious, hard-beaked, talon-footed, winged harbingers of doom are as sharp as a tack and will rip your fucking face off given half the chance. So it’s always been the smartest of ideas to pal up to them and fight on the same side.
Giant Bloody Eagles, in particular, are the goddamned terminators of the avian world, and their hunting and predatory skills have been put to great use for centuries.
In recent times, eagles have been utilised at places like stadium sporting events, where they’re set free to keep watch over the entire stadium in an effort to keep seagulls from settling on the playing field how freaking cool is that.
But because their power and speed and gracefulness is unmatched among their feathered brethren, Dutch Police are stepping that shit up by creating inarguably one of the most metal things of all-time: POLICE EAGLES THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED TO TAKE OUT UNWANTED DRONES IN MID-FREAKING-AIR.
