Shocking video has emerged

[lagoo]

The sentence is "Shocking video has emerged of a gang of thugs carrying out a violent attack on two 'customers' at an Indian restaurant."


Now here are my questions:

Is "emerge of " a phrasal verb, followed by "a gang of thugs..." as its object?


or, is "of a gang of thugs..." a propositional phrase, which modifies "shocking video"? If in such case, is it appropriate to put a propositional phrase modifying a noun after a sentence?

Where did you read this?

Change 'propositional' to 'prepositional'.

1- Shocking video has emerged.
2- The video is of a gang of thugs, etc.

There is no such phrasal verb as "emerge of".

Does that mean I should give the origin of the sentence whenever I ask a question?

It implies that we like to see the source, because this often gives a clue to the intended meaning.
