That in no way equals "The commissioner suspects".
There is a very real reason the NFL uses 3rd party investigators. For example the NFL used 3 seperate 3rd party investigators in the Zeke case.
You guys are simply wrong.

It doesn't say "when an investigation determines that a player committed a violation" Per the link you quoted:

when an investigation leads the Commissioner to believe that a player may have violated this policy by committing any of the conduct identified above, he may act where the circumstances and evidence warrant doing so.

Notice the use of "leads the commissioner to believe" a player may have committed a violation.
But even ignoring that the league can suspend anyone suspected of a violent crime (I'm pretty sure rape qualifies) while they investigate.
Again the league is, per the document you provided, completely within their right to suspend Brown with pay.
