The reasons for their not fully supporting martial law are probably the reasons why they think that burning down a police station is partially justified. What's most likely is that these are different polls surveying different people with small enough sample sizes to have seemingly conflicting results. The dissonance that you're pointing out would be more compelling if it was within a single poll using the same subjects.
