This is what happens when a word changes over the centuries and gets turned into something it never intended to mean to the people who were listening to those words 2000 yrs ago
The "meek" were those who were referred to as those brave men with their hands on the swords that chose to keep them in their sheaths, when they could have gone slaying but for the sake of a just peace, ensured no form of violence was meted out
Hence, why the meek shall inherit the Earth - because they chose not mindless violence, when they were fully capable of doing so.
Jordan Peterson has a really good video on that line
