I don't think there's a report of an officer down on a campus every day.

"some crime"

Not to belittle petty theft, but "two officers down" is really not just "some crime".

We recently built an app that tracks this based on official US government data - per the Cleary act every US college that receives Federal funds must declare their on-campus crime rate. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/campus-sentinel/id513108130?... - you can compare MIT to other campuses.

MIT has under 50 violent crimes per year.

They do have several hundred non-violent crimes per year.

Many fellow hackers in the Boston/Cambridge area?

Yes.

There is a serious problem with HN when stories like this get so many up-votes. This story is against the site guidelines. There isn't anything deeply interesting in the comments.
