Yes, Jesus was the ultimate Meek Man, and he rampaged in the Temple not once, but twice. And then He knowingly and willingly carried His own cross to the top of a hill, to be nailed to it, even though His followers wanted to draw swords to protect Him. He didn't lose his nerve, ever. He stayed Stoic and simply did what He had to do, because it had to be done. He submitted to His own fate.

The entire story is written to emphasize His fearless, calm restraint, but also His willingness to use sudden, explosive, almost inexplicable violence, when necessary. And that He was shrewd and observant enough to know when the one is required, and the other.
