        Perhaps it's my poor Dutch, but your link does not say that.

          "An agent can also shoot to arrest someone suspected of a serious offense. In such situations has taught the agent on the legs of the accused to target. Where there is self-defense, the agent may shoot on the trunk of the suspect." Modulo Google translation.

            No meaningful difference. For one thing, shooting at someone's legs to arrest them makes no sense, and leads me to believe that something has been lost in translation. But more importantly, the Dutch police will shoot to kill in self-defense, which is exactly the same as the US.
