I don't expect the NFL to be able to fully investigate every detail of ever case, but they should have the discretion to keep someone from playing if there is strong evidence of wrong doing.I would much rather see law enforcement and police services investigate than the NFL since the NFL has obvious bias towards profit and keeping things hush hush.
I think that is the way most businesses would handle it. If the police catch a guy beating hell out of his girlfriend he should not be able to play pending his court date. But in cases like this one with Brown I'd probably let him play.
I don't know how much the NFL can find out, but I think they should investigate as much as possible before making a decision.
As for him playing..I really don't care if the league pulled him until the investigation concludes. In fact they probably ought to keep anyone off the field that's under investigation by the law in these kinds of cases if for no other reason than to protect their own brand.
