这个是
介词短语,介词后面呢是不能跟句子的。In spite of the police brandishing their clubs and pistols,people showed not the slightest fear.
尽管警方挥动着短棍及手枪,但人们毫不畏惧。在这里, brandishing their clubs and pistols是起修饰作用的,可以将其删去。动词的进行时表示伴随状态

in spite of =despite后面加名词,也可以加名词性的从句比如in spite of the bad weather, in spite of what he said, in spite of the fact that +从句

在英语中,despite/(in)despite of/in spite of是介词(短语),都可接名词(短语)、动名词(短语),只是(in)despite of是较古老的用语,这短语中的in可以省略。
