(CNN) Fires were set outside a Portland police union building early Saturday morning, according to police, as demonstrations in the city over racial injustice stretched into their third month. Protesters gathered just after 12:01 a.m. Saturday at the Portland Police Association (PPA) building, which has been the site of numerous demonstrations in recent weeks, a statement from the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) said. Demonstrators then put debris "against the front door of the building, appeared to spray accelerant on it, and lit it on fire." Portland police shared a photo of the aftermath of a fire set outside a Portland police union building on Saturday. Police used "crowd control munitions" but did not use tear gas, according to the PPB statement.
