I believe murder should be an automatic death penalty offense, but if they are serving a LWOP sentence and do show repentance, then yes I would favor some form of parole or commutation.

I'm not really sure why a cop killer should be treated any different than any other sort of murderer.

I view killing a cop as a direct assault on the very practice of law enforcement or keeping the peace. While I think all 1st-degree murder cases should merit an automatic death penalty, it seems even more plain that cop-killers should get that penalty.
